	Overseas Workers Support NCLS Fact Sheet 14027 This fact sheet examines Australian Protestant churches' support for workers in other countries, either through a mission agency or directly. There is a long tradition of churches supporting work overseas, whether missions of evangelism and ministry training, works of practical service and empowerment, or endeavours comprised of both. Historically, support that does not go through an agency has been relatively low, but is believed by many to have been rising for some time. This could have important implications for mission agencies, churches, and workers themselves. Author/s: Sterland, S. Price: Free Citation: Sterland, S.
